  1. Just wait til you find a third. :brows:
  2. Yup. And no matter what I do, hotmail still thinks that they are all spam. :roll:
  3. I was hoping that their internal program would automatically adapt the photo so as to keep the address. But oh well. :roll:
  4. Don't know yet. Now that the truck is finally out of the garage, I've been cleaning it. Still have to re-bleed the brakes before an all out test drive.
  5. You might want to ask that question in the tech forum. You'll get more responses I'm sure. :cheers:
  6. Amen to that! I've got more rust on my steering wheel than that whole truck. :drool:
  7. At least your players were playing Wahoo. :roll:
  8. Regular ol' copper plugs work great in the Jeep engines.
  9. I'm in! I just gotta fix this dang teleporter. So far it only sends things down the street. Hmmm, maybe I should work on fixing the time machine instead and use it to gain more time to fix the teleporter. 8) You might want to Email Rick to make sure he sees that you're going.
  10. I'll trade ya QBs... :brows:
  11. Collective Soul. At this exact moment the song is "Better Now".
  12. Lotta hidden expense there. He'd need a new trans, find the right bellhousing, all the parts that go with the bellhousing, new trans mount, and best of all, a new t-case to match the 23 spline output of the AX-15. It was worth it to me when my Peugeot self-destructed, but it may not be worth it to a guy with a blow slave cylinder unless he can find a sweet deal on parts.
  13. Difference between the TJ yoke on the left and the MJ yoke on the right. Found my location, drilled the holes and installed the shock bracket. Up top I drilled out space in the bedliner for the washer. It goes, washer, nut (tightened down) then lock washer and another nut. I don't want them backing out under any circumstance. Shocks bolted in up top. Notice the squared corners on the bracket. After everything was said and done, I had to take it all apart and round them off after it was discovered that they hit the shocks. :roll: Shocks fully installed. Everything worked out perfect on them. The YJ mounts on the axle were in the right place and the shock length turned out perfect. Not bad for not being the plan when I ordered the shocks way back when. Front shocks are installed. For anyone that didn't know, the Ford shock mounts on the radius arm are in a perfect location for MJ/JXs. But all wasn't perfect up front. Turns out that the shock designed for an MJ/XJ with a 3" lift (which I thought would match the 3" coils) don't allow for full compression on my rig. But it's close. Looks like I should be able to get away with adding an inch of bumpstop (aka, a hockey puck) material in the coil bucket.
  14. Just as I figured. :( Moving photos around in the folders changes their addy. Bummer.
  15. While I may or may not be a genius, this particular item I've learned the hard way when I was splicing in new wiring at the back of the truck and suddenly my truck wouldn't start. :roll: Don't forget to check the condition of the connector in the wire harness behind the tire. Corrosion there caused me to lose my brake lights one day.
  16. Also, I would stop putting in the miracle cures.

    Comanches doubt

    I already corrected Eagle on that. He was going on his experience with XJs and for XJs the Pioneer trim level came with gauges, for MJs, the Pioneer trim level came with idiot lights (but gauges optional on all MJs that didn't already have them as standard).
  18. Cleaning grounds and wire connectors is free. Definitely wise to try that first. :D
  19. I'd pull the cover for a visual inspection Maybe it'll be something obvious like accumulated gunk clogging everything up. You'll see this:
  20. Have you popped off the valve cover lately?
  21. 84-86 are a direct swap, 87-90 can be installed by re-using some of the parts from the back of your gauge cluster. I can't seem to find the web page I thought I had saved, but I did find this for ya: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=921205
  22. The only info you'll ever get on that truck is that it's fake. It was done in Photoshop to show what the guy was thinking of doing.
  23. Are the angles set up properly? Meaning that the axle is pointed at the right angle? Even at 7.5", that's not a huge amount of angle for a ~45" long driveshaft.
